FUTURE INVESTMENT SUPERCAR? The Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M
Buying a limited edition Ferrari has always been a safe bet for investment potential, but what is the Scuderia Spider 16M actually like to drive? Join me for my first time behind the wheel of the rarest variant of the F430 at Barry Skolnick's Ikonick Collection in Miami!
Ferrari launched the Scuderia Spider 16M in 2008 to celebrate winning their 16th F1 Constructors World Championship, which was in fact the last they have won to date as well. Following on from the F430, F430 Spider, and 430 Scuderia, the 16M added the convertible roof to the more hardcore and focused Scuderia that had raised the power from the 4.5l V8, took out some weight, improved the dynamic drive and generally sharpened things up.
With a 6spd automated manual gearbox, at the time had the sharpest shifts available and surprisingly even by modern standards a much better response than many of the cars offering similar gearbox types that have come out since. In typical Ferrari fashion it's instantly exciting and rewarding to drive, with a unique but glorious V8 soundtrack.
Only 499 units of the Ferrari 16M were made, making it part of an exclusive list of limited edition Ferrari models and ergo carrying a lot of collector value and as a result, the investment element. There's always a lot of discussion around cars and whether they will lose money, especially after the boom of the last decade and a very skewed market with the increased number of people collecting such cars. However, brands like Ferrari and Porsche have built their reputations, motorsports successes, customer bases and overall demand over many decades and as a result the investment potential lies in cars like this; genuinely rare performance models.
A huge thanks to Barry and the team at Ikonick for my drive in the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, be sure to follow them for more!

I've never previously driven a Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, despite the F430 Spider being one of the first supercars I ever test drove over 10 years ago. It did not disappoint! This is certainly one for the future, and no doubt a solid investment being a very rare, limited edition Ferrari. Thanks to instagram.com/ikonickmotors
Shmee150 Great Video I think that Barry's Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M looks and sounds absolutely incredible and I'm glad you got a chance to Drive it
Truthfully, 430 is amazingly stunning and still turns heads because of its design
Hello @Shmee150 this exact spec was the 1st and only ferrari that i've been inside of so far. it was new on the showroom floor 10+ years ago at Ferrari Columbus Ohio. :) literally my dream car, very handsome imo, and i remember thinking that i'd have to lower the seat rails for my tall frame and possible permanently mount the seat to the floor as far back as i could make it comfortable. :)
I am luckier than you. I own a bunch of Ferraris, which includes the 599 GTO, the Scuderia, the 16M, the LaFerrari, and the latest addition, the 488 Pista Spider. I’d say, you have not missed much. Actually, the one that I enjoyed the most is my 575 SuperAmerica.
That was awesome video shmee👍
Shmee you are start to on way to much now a days
The Scuderia 16m Spider has always been my DREAM car!! In Rosso Corsa with the contrasting Nero interior, pure perfection... absolutely everything about that car is phenomenal and I’d rather have the Scuderia 16m Spider over ANY modern equivalent
Wish you would by a classic Ferrari restore it,love it, drive it.
A video you would expect sam from see-throughglass doimg he's more old feirre guy . Tim's more the new cars
Best sounding ferrari V8 EVER!!
I would rather drive a C8 Corvette
Quick check on Autotrader.ca. There are currently not one but two 16M examples for sale in Canada right now. $390k and $499k CAD vs a regular 430 spider more like $150-200k CAD. Perhaps more interesting is a gated manual F430 with only 10k miles at $265k. Probably all decent buys over time.
Fantastic sound
Beautiful Machine right there! Car will never go out style, Ferrari did a really good job on that body/model.
No need to “fluctuate the gas pedal in line with the shifts”.
I would not recomend to invest into 430's ...
Why not?
Cool vid 😎
The 430 is still such a beautiful car! And they still go for 60-90 000 euro, the basis 430 that is.
F430 especially with 6 speed always will be more special experience that 458 or 488 replacements
Ferarri 430 scuderia spider is the best car ever built!
Did you buy an Aston Martin instead of this Ferrari? That must HURT.
Good video. By lifting off you were missing out on the full SF2 shifts, which is why most of the was changing in one of the slower modes. It takes a few miles to understand the system and how it reacts at varying throttle inputs, but it's very rewarding - something that I prefer over a multi-clutch 'box.
🥂
I would love to see what a Ferrari single clutch sequential would look like with 15 years newer technology. If a small electric motor was involved it would probably be just as smooth as a DCT. Then it could be converted to a real manual option!
And SeenthroughGlass is going to be jealous off you
Pull the (vacuum)hoses on the exhaust valves and the sound is there at every rpm. Best stock sounding Ferrari in the family. Love it already for 9 years/80.000km's so did my best enjoying it.
Imo the 360 Stradale sounds better....looks worse than the 430 tho.
Need the gt500 video!
Out Run pure spirit
I would be surprised if this man doesn’t buy one soon.
Aged well
how can somebody dislike the looks of the 430? for me it is one of the best looking cars ever.
Not sure why you think every generation will want these as they reach that age in their careers. You remember this car. New generations won't.

You should buy it🤷♂️
A stitched leather dashboard wouldn’t hold up for three years in someplace like Phoenix.
Left-lane hogs, and stupidly long stop lights... welcome back to driving in the US, Tim! lol
Maybe your STO can be black with red contrast pack?
No new video today????? 2/4/2021
So good. The 430 / 16M one of my all time favorites. Thank you for sharing!
That F430 Spider 16M is a cool car
I was 14 when the 16M was released. A proper poster car.
one of the first supercars i heard of when i was younger, absolutely love it
Hi shmee 😊great channel keep up the good review s of magnificent cars 💯🏅
Of all the Ferrari's built, the F430 Scuderia is by far and away my favourite.
Shmee & Strad collab 👀
Great car and Epic sound, One of my favourite
An F430 is easily my favourite Ferrari
Maybe this is one car you should get to your future collection in Shmuseum?
This cars faster than an Enzo .
absolutely perfect
They should have made 430 of them would have made more sense
Realy good sound !
Great video Tim! Man that brought me back! My first supercar was a 2009 F430. I miss that car! And after watching today, I miss it even more! So when you get back home, are we going to see a 16M in the Shmee Collection??? Take care!
Jump on a scud now ! Before Michael Schumacher passes away (I actually hope that he is doing fine). These are the last true sensations sport cars and will have insane value in the future !
Please add a 16M to you collection please
Mic isn't stereo Weird mic not recommended using headphones
All of the Roads in the USA are Grid formation and that's pretty sad tbh ☹
LOL u should buy one if u really like it..........
Help me India brother
15:01
There's a 16M for sale here in Australia for 1mil AUD.. insane
Tim, we need to see you driving a Challenge Stradale.
💯
Exhaust gives me the svj vibes.
Please go to the freedom factory!
Odd how people who are most desperate for therapy are the last to ever opt for therapy.
Love this car Your review made me smile! Good job shmee!!!
Mid 00s, Enzo-era Ferrari’s are amazing.
Always been a top 5 Ferrari of mine It's like you could she Tim thinking 🤔 16M or a LFA
This thing looks so good! 😳
Why is this guy flying around the US??
Business/work visa I'm guessing. Was wondering that since he arrived.
Love you Shmee good like Shmee LOVE YOU EVERY CAR LIKE YOU EVERY DAY GOOD LIKE EVERY DAY l'm a fan of shmee
ultimate investment car from ferrari its the 599gto or gtb with the manual
Lovely car I really hope you buy it one day. 👍 Also I have to mention a car from previous video.. Murcielago Roadster 😍 Such a clean beautifull design and what a crazy, crazy sound.
the f430 scud never look old for me including the f430
430 Scud is a beautiful car! Dream spec is 09 in verde pino!
Timeless beauty
I drove the 16M and the scud many times...I've recommended this car to many. It was the first car I think to have active damping. You could place it in race mode and adjust the damping on the suspension. It's comfortable to be in. The sound is amazing and it's tuned a bit different than the 430.
Sup with that choppa
Gorgeous Ferrari!
Somehow I feel like one of these might join the Shmeemobiles at some point... :)
I own a 2007 black F430 Coupe with yellow trims an calipers. I bought it 3 years ago and drive it once a month. I enjoy every moment of it. Mine is not a Scuderia but has lots of carbon all over and Fabspeed headers which gives it a little more horsepower. F430’s being the last analog Ferraris will have a solid future as an investment. The F430 has the classic body contours as well as a modern look. The last of Mohicans. Great review Tim.
I feel kinda bad the this channel is being forgotten by other viewers...
My dream car, not the spyder, obviously, but thats my dream
Most jealous about you in the Sun and we in the Snow....🤨😉 Enjoy Miami👑👍
Help me
The 16M sounded so nice
Not a big fan of the 430 looks. But this thing really sounds good.
The F430 is still SICK😎👌🏻, but yeah Shmee u should add a Scud to your garage👍🏻.
Wow, monster of a soundtrack, beauty of a car, in fact my dream is a 488 because of the looks and admittedly its because it’s seen as the underdog in the V8 Ferrari lineage. But I’d say the 430 walks all over the 488 in the looks department. I know people are gonna go in on the noise, but you have to move on guys, twin-turbos is not the end of the world....
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale 👍🏻
Yep. 100% Tim.., I dare ya 😝
Awesome video Tim, the 430 Scuderia is one of my favorite cars. I always thought that the updated front end "fixed" what I didn't like about the standard F430.
Honestly I like the classic design of the inside and outside and the whole drive makes it perfect. Also a dream car for me, I grew up on these early 2000 cars.
Desperately needs an exhaust.
Last of the old school, where it was about driving experience and not how many pointless screens you can fit in a car!
Another Banger of a Car Mr Smee , and it just happens to be my favourite Motor too , thanks bro , Shifty Shade's tho lid.... 😎
Mr. Shmee, I invite you on my channel to see the Bimmer X6 M Power...👍
You need a Porsche , Lamborghini , Ferrari . That's a supercar collection.The main staples in a garage.✌️🍕
I’m curious Why does it cost more than the f430 challenge car?
This is a real car! One of the best Ferrari.
Nice video shmee👍
Ferrari ❤️❤️❤️
You must be loving that weather instead of crappy english weather
430 and enzo are the best Ferrari's, hands down but for Lamborghini id have to say that sto is on another level
